Adam married Janet BORTHWICK, daughter of Sir William BORTHWICK 2nd of of that Ilk, Captain of Edinburgh Castle and Unknown, About 2 November 1411(papal dispensation).^{1 2} (Janet BORTHWICK was born about 1395.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Janet, married, first, as his second wife, to James Douglas, Lord of Dalkeith (whose first wife was tlie Princess Elizabeth, third daughter of Robert III.), and, secondly, to George Crichton, Earl of Caithness." (page 96)

from Scots Peerage (vol 2)


Referring to the Borthwick article in The Scots Peerage, volume two, though not to the above quotation, volume 9 states:

"p. 95, 1. 20, after ' him ' add note, ' On 1 May 1411 a dispensation was issued for the marriage of William Borthwick and Beatrice Sinclair, but there is no clue as to which William Borthwick is meant (Reg. Aven., 337, BORTHWICK 39 f. 170). He had a daughter, Janet Borthwick, for whose marriage to Adam Hepburn, lord of Hailes, a Papal dispensation was granted on 2 November 1411 (Reg. Aven., 339, f. 549).' " (pages 38 and 39) from Scots Peerage (vol 9 Addenda et Corrigenda)

Note:

Only the second part, underlined by this researcher, of this correction makes any sense chronologically. Otherwise it is misleading. The marriage in question is probably that of a later William Borthwick. ^{1 2}
